maybe if it doesn't talk it could do sign language - although that may not work in a book......

(it will be available as an ebook, right ?)

(you should really include a talking dog though. seriously. what good is fiction without a talking dog ??)
If I ever finish it it will be CC and published here first, and probably last. I write just to have fun and have no fantasies aobut publishing.

The satire is a bit narrower for this story, but there may be some sort of sentient animal-type thingie. I just don't want to get too close to Brass Monkey territory here.

Well that had me completely confused. Brass Monkey Territory to me is a reference to your winters, specifically where it is very cold. See Brass Monkey for more explanation.

So I thought you were planning emigration to Mexico.

No, Harv and Vera leave Brass Monkey Territory, aka The IceBox in the upcoming saga, The Beginning: When Harv Met Vera.

Yeah, like big, hairy chicken bollocks, you are. You're fart-arsing around Mexico like HST-on-a-highway (sorry, Fear and Loathing... came up and it tends to stick for a bit). Now you get back to looking out for decent postcards to send.

What? Then who the bloody hell are you going to have narrate? The gibbon? I don't think anyone understands his language, and even if they did, ebooks can't reproduce the [thunk!] of a banana hitting someone's forehead.

Cheers,
Marc (I think you should call the dog "Belvedere")
